Outdoor dress these bright May days
is remarkable for seasOnable freshness.
In the new fancy woolen materials
small white patterns frequently occur.
IN SOME FABRICS
irregular white stripes form a sort of
check pattern; in others large white
dots are scattered over plain or striped
colored ground. Jubilee serges, both
silk and wool, are among the materials
shown by English dealers for spring
and summer wear. The wool serge is
very soft in texture, and drapes as
gracefully as cashmere. The silk serge
is OF pure silk, does not crease, and will
not wear shiny or split. Mousseline de
laine and volie, and other soft, thin,
woolen materials are much favored for
white, cream, pale blue and light
terra Gotta. Gray and white check
materials are meeting with de-
cided favor. A walking costume
much in vogue has the skirt draped
on the left side, where it remains open
over an underSkirt. Large buttons are
placed OIL one side, and butt0n-holes to
correspond on the other, so that the
skirt appears to have been left unbut-
toned. Skirts plated surplice fashion
will be very fashionable this summer.
such as yelling, barege, etamine and
very fine French cashmere, are made
thus, the plated skirt falling over and
under one of some light silk, tatfetas or
foulard.
Some of the newest laces are in ecru
and coffee shades, and come both as
piece-Iace and with pointed or scalloped
edges for trimming. They are intended
specially for use upon the new browns,
green's and mauves. Bands and
borders around the skirt near the foot
are much favored, but tlOunces, except
in lace, and plating are no longer seen.
BayeauX lace is a new black machine
made lace resembling Chantilly and
nearly as beautiful. Some of the new
est gauZe ribbons have

both in silk and velvet, are extensively
used for holding draperies, and vertical
bands Of ribbon are placed upon the
fronts and sides of dress skirts. Satin
ribbon is very effectively used as a
decoration for ball and evening dresses.
An example is gown composed of airy
gauZe studded with large satin spots,
of the skirt. The corsage of silk has a
folded bertha of the gauze, and the
gauZe sleeves are finished with loops
and ends of satin ribbons. Beads are
an important feature of dress and bon
net trimmings, and every imaginable
color may be matched in both plain and
iridescent beads. Jet is profrsely used
AS decoration for dressy mantles, but
in long strings rather than the pend
ants and motifs heretofore used. Some
! of the newest buttons consist of wheels
or wire or wood, covered with
silk crocheted in open designs. Suede
gloves, with four rows of broad,
black stitching, soil very quickly
and make the wearer's hand look broad
and clumsy, but they are exceedingly
the fashion for all that. Exceedingly
long gloves are no longer considered
good style. The proper glove should
not reach to the elbow, and the wrist
should be pretty well concealed by
bracelets. -
